About “Right Thing, Right Now”

Right Thing, Right Now is a book by Ryan Holiday that emphasizes the importance of doing what is right, even when it is difficult, as a foundational element of a virtuous life. The book draws on the lives of historical figures such as Marcus Aurelius, Florence Nightingale, Jimmy Carter, Gandhi, and Frederick Douglass to illustrate the value of justice, kindness, honesty, integrity, and loyalty. It presents the idea that living by a moral code is necessary, not optional, and warns that sacrificing principles leads to moral failure.
